About Toledo's Main Street

I would like to share a poem with you written by Homer, thirty years before Christ was born.

Happy the man, and happy he alone,

He who can call to-day his own:

He who, secure within, can say:

"To-morrow, do thy worst, for I have liv'd to-day."

Here's wishing you a day free of worry and full of hope and beauty. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog!

Happy selling!

Here is a photo of one of my "Haunts."

Yesssss! Homemade.

Everybody knows you here!

Hope you enjoyed your walk and coffee today!

This Pumpkinhead Scarecrow was seen sitting outside of a quilt shop on Main Street in Toledo Oregon. It is part of a contest every year, lots of fun to view them as they show up around town!

This fine beauty queen appeared a couple of days ago in front of the Magic Mirror Beauty Salon. Love the 'do!

This warning brought to you by Mike's Mercantile and Best Hardware on Buisness Highway 20 in Toledo!

Anglers from all over are headed to the Central Oregon Coast this time of year to enjoy the fall Salmon fishing season. One of the most popular places to go is Yaquina Bay in Newport Oregon. On any given weekday in the fall, there are boats lined up at the ramp, ready to try their luck on the 12 mile inlet that leads to Toledo, OR, and Elk City, Oregon. The weather in the late summer and early fall can be exceptional!

Here's my tip: Instead of loading your boat at the crowded Newport boat ramp, head 7 miles inland off of Hwy. 20, to Business Hwy. 20 which leads to Historic Downtown Toledo. Toledo Oregon is only a 9 minute drive inland from US Hwy. 101. Follow signs to Main Street, you can't miss it as there is only one traffic signal! Toledo boat ramp is located on South Bay road, not far from Toledo Airport. It is easy to find with your GPS.

Stop for breakfast at one of four classic diners on Main Street, all are open bright and early and set the tone for a pleasant day. Ask your waitstaff for directions to the nearby boat launch. You won't need to hurry because there will be very few boats lined up on the dock, and you will have the best part of the river to yourself!

Feel free to call me for more information about fishing (and real estate!) on the Oregon Coast!
